Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high quality dental care. We understand that you, or your child, may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to your needs, and it is our goal to make you feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing you with the best care possible.

The first visit is all about your child – comfort, happiness, and dental health.

 E Your child's first visit with Dr. Demetriou includes:

• A review of the complete dental and medical history forms
• X-rays of the teeth and mouth as needed
• Cleaning and polishing of your child's teeth by the     hygienist
• An oral exam to check for any cavities or early signs of tooth decay
 

Once Dr. Demetriou has reviewed the dental and medical health history forms and completed the dental exam, he will provide you with an assessment of your child’s dental health. Dr. Demetriou will recommend any additional treatment your child may require. Dr. Demetriou and his staff welcome your questions and are eager to listen to your concerns.

Bring your child's smile, but also remember to bring these with you to your first appointment:

• Your completed new patient packet
• Your insurance card

Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!

The American Dental Association recommends visiting a dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

We understand that parents and children have busy schedules, so when you're preparing to visit the dentist, please remember that appointments can last between 20 and 60 minutes. 

Appointments

Our staff will do their best to schedule appointments at your convenience. We recommend that preschool children be seen in the morning because they are fresher and treatment is usually much more successful when they are more tolerant.

School-aged children with a lot of work to be done should be seen in the morning for the same reason. We are happy to provide your child with a note of absence for school.

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for YOUR child. If you are unable to keep your appointment, we ask that you please give our office at least 72 hours notice. By giving us sufficient notice, we are able to schedule another patient who needs our care. We thank you for respecting our office policy – your cooperation enables us to provide efficient care for everyone.
